==Pikachu's movement speed==
{{Bug
| image=
| desc=Pikachu's movement speed when walking left is faster than his speed when walking right. This also occurs in ''[[Pocket Monster II]]''.
}}

==Pikachu's jump height==
{{Bug
| image=
| desc=Pikachu can only control his jump height by holding {{C}} for different periods of time when the D-Pad isn't pressed. If any directions are pressed while lightly tapping {{C}}, he will always jump at his maximum height, and will immediately stop gaining height if the D-Pad is let go. This makes it difficult to dodge certain enemies in some situations. This also occurs in ''Pocket Monster II''.
}}

==Double jumping from an enemy==
{{Bug
| image=
| desc=After stomping an enemy or when taking damage, it is possible for the player to perform a mid-air jump by pressing {{C}} before Pikachu reaches the apex of his bounce. In some places which involve vertical platforming, this can be used to take shortcuts. This also occurs in ''Pocket Monster II''.
}}

==Walking on the spot==
{{Bug
| image=
| desc=If either {{Up}}, {{Down}}, {{A}} or {{B}} are held down when the player lets go of {{Left}} or {{Right}} on the ground, Pikachu's walking animation will continue while he is still. This will also prevent the camera from moving based on Pikachu's direction as long as a button is held down, allowing the player to keep it in place. This also occurs in ''Pocket Monster II''.
}}

==Drop through platforms==
{{Bug
| image=PocketMonster MD Bug DropThroughPlatform.png
| caption=Big mistake.
| desc=As a byproduct of the jump height bug above, it is possible for Pikachu to drop through most floating platforms by performing a short hop with a light tap of {{C}}. This could be used if the player needs to get down quickly, but can be very dangerous on platforms over bottomless pits. This also occurs in ''Pocket Monster II''.
}}

==Disappearing platforms and enemies==
{{Bug
| image=PocketMonster MD Bug DisappearingPlatform1.png
| image2=PocketMonster MD Bug DisappearingPlatform2.png
| caption=Something's missing.
| caption2=What should be there.
| desc=Moving objects, such as enemies and especially platforms, can disappear if they go too far off the screen from their starting positions, usually as a result of the camera's finicky positioning when facing left or right. If this occurs to a moving platform, then this can impede progress unless the player backtracks and returns to the area with a properly aligned camera. This also occurs in ''Pocket Monster II''.
